The Klemantaski Collection is one of the world’s largest and most distinguished motorsports photography archives, with over 500,000 images on hand. The collection includes the works of perhaps the greatest motorsports photographer of all time, Louis Klemantaski, as well as many others.

Thirteen-time Grand Prix winner David Coulthard amassed more points in his fifteen-year Formula 1 career than any British driver and is seventh on the list of all-time F1 point-scorers. Born in Dumfries, Scotland, he made his Grand Prix debut in 1994 for Williams, before moving on to McLaren for nine successful seasons, finishing a career-best second in the championship in 2001. After four years driving for Red Bull Racing, Coulthard retired from F1 following the 2008 season, and now works as a commentator for the BBC’s Formula 1 television coverage while also driving in the DTM. He lives in Monaco.

Darren Heath is one of the world’s top motorsports photographers; his work covering the Formula 1 World Championship has won him numerous awards, and in 2005 the British Royal Photographic Society awarded Heath their prestigious Honorary Fellowship in recognition of his contributions to the art and science of photography in his chosen field. He lives in London, England.
